Here, a font used by the PC is specified for the
Symbol type = 0 (font symbols).
Values
Notes
- If the main font used by PPMS Standard (Arial) is not installed on your PC, look for the [Font Substitutes] entry in the Win.ini file and make an entry, e.g. Arial = Courier.

- 36 for tree structure: grid line
Note
- For triangular symbols, an even-numbered height is recommended. The width of these symbols can be inaccurate by several pixels.

Height of the font in the symbol
DI001955 Min. width
Minimum width for scaled objects with a length of 0, specified in tenths of a millimeter
Example
- For a task with duration = 0, a section of a bar with the width specified here is to be displayed at the task start date.

Margin color data field of the same name.
DI001744 Margin thickness
Thickness of the line used in drawing the content, in tenths of a millimeter.
Note
DI001740 Margin shape
Values
- 0: there is no margin
- 1: continuous bar, pointed corners
- 2: line
- 3: triangle, pointing to the right
- 4: triangle, pointing up
- 5: triangle, pointing to the left
- 6: triangle, pointing down
- 7: circle
- 8: continuous bar, rounded corners
- 9: square
- 10: tree structure: +
- 11: tree structure: -
- 12: rhomb
- 13: right-angled triangles under the bar
- 14: triangles under the bar
- 15: triangles under the bar
- 16: square rotated by 45 degrees
DI001745 Margin pattern
Specifies the pattern used to draw the outline.
Values
- 0: pulled through
- 1: dashed
- 2: dotted
- 3: dash dot dash dot
- 4: dash dot dot dash dot dot
Note
- Under Windows, lines are only affected by the pattern if their width is exactly 1 pixel. Since they are specified in tenths of a millimeter, different results are obtained at different screen resolutions. I.e. if the thickness is too great, all visible patterns will be displayed as "continuous" lines.
DI001743 Background color ID
Defines the background color of symbols
Note
- @: Content will not dominate anything else = transparent background
